Lykalis has a new obsession: a bewitching man carrying secrets stained in blood. But is he worth less than the safety of her kingdom? Or is he worth more than she could ever imagine? ***** The King and Queen have been murdered and eighteen-year-old Heiress Lykalis Vasoraki is to take her Aunt's title and be crowned in the palace of Kolteo, where people with the wings of crows and ravens dwell. Before her coronation ceremony can ensue, she pursues the killer and finds herself on a grueling path to the Kingdom of Sidiem, a territory of wolves and foxes. There, she bears witness to a brutal death, and a Royal investigation transpires. She teams up with the Heir of Sidiem and finds a list of evidence that consequently leads them to a jewelry company, one which hides something terribly sinister. An alluring man with mismatched eyes catches Lykalis's attention and she finds herself entwined with the fate of a broken man who knows more about killing then he does about living. ***** Excerpt: "Don't lie to me." She sneered, smacking her hand against the floor. "Don't lie-" His eyes snapped to her as anger flashed between them. "You were like starlight, like-like the constellations had fallen together in order to create you, as if you were personally molded by the gods themselves." He pressed. "Your spirit glowed like the only light across a sea of barren land- you. . .you're spirit was the only one that felt like. . ." ***** [ word count: 160,000~170,000 ] [ Book 1 of the Crown of Dahlia Trilogy ]

His Innocent Obsession

I felt him before I saw him. The air shifted, heavy and electric, and then he was there - filling the doorway of my shop like he owned it. Like he owned me. His eyes dragged over me slowly, deliberately, until my skin burned. I told myself to look away, to breathe, to move - but my body betrayed me. Lucien stepped closer, the scent of smoke and danger clinging to him. He reached out, brushing a single petal from my shoulder, his fingers grazing my skin as if testing how easily I'd break. "You hide behind flowers," he murmured, voice low enough to curl around my spine. "But I see the truth. You're trembling for me." My lips parted, but no words came. My pulse thundered, my knees weak, and still I couldn't step back. He leaned in, his breath warm against my ear. "You don't know it yet, Dahlia," he whispered, "but you're already mine." Dahlia Hart lives a quiet life running her late father's flower shop a haven of color and calm in a world she keeps at arm's length. But one night changes everything. She witnesses a brutal crime, and in doing so, catches the attention of a man who doesn't tolerate witnesses. A man who doesn't let go. Lucien Moretti is cold, dominant, and untouchable a man who built his empire on control, fear, and precision. When he learns that the only person who saw what happened is the daughter of a man who once betrayed him, his interest turns personal. Dahlia is no longer just a threat. She's a loose end. A legacy. A possession waiting to be claimed. But Dahlia isn't as fragile as she seems. And Lucien, for all his cruelty, finds himself drawn to her innocence in ways he didn't expect. What begins as a hunt becomes something darker an obsession. One that blurs the line between protection and possession, desire and domination. This is my first book I hope you like it 🤗
